Good morning! Sorry I'm a little slow today (more like barely moving every day, ha). I think this will be my last check-in post for a couple weeks, since it is baby week for me, and I know several of us will be in the hospital here soon- let's use this thread to keep in contact in the meantime!
1. How far along and who's in there?
2. Milestones/appointments:
3. Rants/Raves/Positives:
4. Question of the week: I know most of us are so over this pregnancy, and we're so close to the end, but what is something you will miss about being pregnant?

Re: Moms of Multiples 9/12
36+6, Ethan and Elliott
2. Milestones/appointments:
37 week OB appt tomorrow morning, where we'll confirm positions and date. Hoping 9/14 is baby day for us! (Or today, or tomorrow...)
3. Rants/Raves/Positives:
I've been taking an Epsom salt bath pretty much every night, which has been wonderful. DH is so sweet, helpful, excited, and encouraging; I really don't know what I would do without him.
I feel like the list of things I've been told are "normal" and to just deal with is absurd with this pregnancy. The front of my pelvis is so incredibly painful at this point, thanks to SPD. The top half of my belly aches from diastasis recti. Contractions every 10ish minutes, but not strong enough or causing enough dilation to be admitted. Bruised ribs. And now I have a lovely burning sensation across the top of my belly which I apparently don't need to worry about because it's just "nerves being damaged" by the size of my uterus. Great.

As painful as this pregnancy has been, I've been getting a little sentimental now that I'm so close to the end. Last time I really missed the belly, feeling LO moving, and feeling that special "just me and him" bond- I'm realizing that I'm going to feel that way again pretty soon.
34+2 Carlisle and Cora
2. Milestones/appointments:
MFM (BPP and NST) on Thursday. They told me they won't stop labor 35w+ so this time Saturday, you can catch me jumping rope.
3. Rants/Raves/Positives:
Its almost over. That's all I can think about. I am in so much pain, 24/7, that I am literally day dreaming all day about having my body back to normal and having these little girls on the outside. My pubic bone is also now sore, I'm having contractions every day, my ribs are also bruised, and the skin/area on my right ribs or to the right of them are so untouchable I can't stand it. Add getting up to pee every hour of the night and no longer being able to get in out of bed easily or get comfortable, and I'm just done. I have high hopes that they may come next week.
4. Question of the week: I know most of us are so over this pregnancy, and we're so close to the end, but what is something you will miss about being pregnant?
I will miss having them so close, not having to share them, and knowing they are safe in there - effortlessly.
1. How far along and who's in there?
36+1; boy/girl twins
2. Milestones/appointments:
Made it to 36!!! C-section is scheduled for 38+2!
3. Rants/Raves/Positives:
I still have a few things to pack in my hospital bag, it's pretty bare bones right now. I need to upgrade my cell phone, and want to purchase a small camera. I'm so waiting for payday right now though.
My OB is out of town next week, but at least I like the other two OBs on call next week in case I go into labor.
4. Question of the week: I know most of us are so over this pregnancy, and we're so close to the end, but what is something you will miss about being pregnant?
I'm gonna miss my baby boy being an only child. I cried this morning when hubby took him to daycare. He's like, "What's wrong mommy? I'll be back this afternoon. I'm just going to school to play with my friends." Goodness I'm so emotional, I'm crying just typing this out.
I'm not going to miss the gestational diabetes diet though. That's for darn sure. Hello carbs. I've missed you so.
@kmvisioli I hear you on carrying these two forever if baby A wasn't breech!!
1. How far along and who's in there?
37+2, Eli & Lily
2. Milestones/appointments:
C section is scheduled one week from today!! We also have our pre op appt & NST on Wednesday.
3. Rants/Raves/Positives:
rant- I really miss having bladder control... I have the worlds worst cough right now which is awful anyways but also encourages my bladder to pee all the time. Over it.
Raves - less than a week & some of these crazy pregnancy symptoms will be gone!! I look forward to not having numbness and seeing my feet when I'm standing up
4. Question of the week: I know most of us are so over this pregnancy, and we're so close to the end, but what is something you will miss about being pregnant?
I am going to miss feeling them move and watching my stomach dance. It's still the coolest and weirdest thing I have ever experienced.
@kmvisioli I like the idea of using this thread to stay in touch while we all welcome our babies over the next few weeks! Home stretch mamas!!

1. How far along and who's in there?
35w1d, Olivia and Caroline
2. Milestones/appointments:
have my twice weekly NST and BPP Thursday morning and go see my normal OB Thursday afternoon
3. Rants/Raves/Positives:
Olivia is 5 pounds 9 ounces and Caroline is 5 pounds 3 ounces!!! I also started my maternity leave- while I was a little bummed about losing a few weeks at the end, I am doing much better and I know this was the right decision.
4. Question of the week: I know most of us are so over this pregnancy, and we're so close to the end, but what is something you will miss about being pregnant?
I'll miss feeling the girls move around and I'm going to miss the great excuse not to do something if I don't want to.
1. How far along and who's in there?
35 weeks 6 days boy/girl
2. Milestones/appointments:
Still having twice a week NST's and I visit my OB tomorrow. He will finally schedule my c-section most likely for the last week of the month and I plan to talk to him about taking me off work to start leave.
3. Rants/Raves/Positives:
Like everyone else, I am just done. My back hurts when I move, I can hardly turn over in bed, my boy is so low that his kicks HURT and make me jump, my left foot is swollen, and I have carpel tunnel. I am ready to start putting this body of mine back together already.

I will miss the kindness from strangers.

4. Question of the week: I know most of us are so over this pregnancy, and we're so close to the end, but what is something you will miss about being pregnant?
I will miss feeling them all the time but mostly the hiccups they get. Usually when one gets them the other has them within about 10 minutes. I will also miss being able to get away with wearing sports bras, tanks and comfortable shorts ALL THE TIME, since that's the most comfortable clothing attire right now, not to mention what fits the best.
And Good Luck to all you ladies, can't wait to see baby pictures and hear all about the birth stories.
@nlane0723 Your boy's are adorable, glad everything is going well and hope your recovery is smooth and fast.

2. Milestones/appointments:
Saw mfm today, he got my labs and all from he weekend combined with symptoms and he is thinking I have 2 more weeks max of carrying these babies. My us today showed a decrease in blood flow to the placenta. He gave me my first steroid shot today and had nst. Have to go back tomorrow for 2nd shot and nst. Then I see my regular ob friday to schedule my c-section and all that jazz.
3. Rants/Raves/Positives:
I'm on overload, I feel like I am not ready.
I really thought I was going to make it to the 36 weeks. I am anxious about my babies and everything being ok.
4. Question of the week: I know most of us are so over this pregnancy, and we're so close to the end, but what is something you will miss about being pregnant?
Both of my pregnancies have been pretty rough on me....of course I will miss feeling them move...even though these girls have been breech pretty much from the get go and kick me in the cervix pretty often which hurts..
